Amazon Warehouse Workers Strike Expands In NYC

December 21, 2024 Business, Employment

Via press release from the Teamsters:

At midnight last night, Amazon Teamsters at the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island joined the historic strike against the corporate giant. They join thousands of Teamsters striking at DBK4 in New York City; DGT8 in Atlanta; DFX4, DAX5, and DAX8 in Southern California; DCK6 in San Francisco; and DIL7 in Skokie, Ill.; as well as picketing at hundreds of other Amazon facilities.

This large-scale labor action is a result of Amazon’s illegal refusal to bargain with its workers who have chosen to unionize with the Teamsters. Amazon has defied repeated demands to come to the table and negotiate an agreement.

“Amazon executives are cowards hiding behind lies, threats, and intimidation to dodge their responsibilities to workers and the public,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “It takes real courage to stand up to a corporate bully and Amazon Teamsters are doing just that.”
